I absolutely loved this trip! We did the Explorer Split Return on the Almissa. I'm an avid cruiser, but now I'm spoiled and hooked on small ship cruises! It was so nice to have swim stops each day and get to swim right off the bow of the boat in a beautiful cove! Since we overnighted in each port, we were able to enjoy our time there without worrying about getting back to the boat on time! We were docked in the harbor at each port and walking distance to dining, shops, and activities. Food was great and service was excellent. Our cruise director Vin was so friendly and helpful, giving us great tips and advice for each port. My bed was very comfortable and room was clean with good AC! I had an above deck cabin, so I was able to open my window for fresh air, which was very nice since it wasn't very hot during our end of Sept sailing. I would definitely recommend this company and would not hesitate to book another cruise with them if I have the opportunity to return to Croatia!

I must start off by giving a big round of applause to our group leader, Vin, who prepped us everyday to let us know what to expect and where to go when we were sure and arrange all the excursions including the free ones. For those who love the water, the swim stops were amazing, the water extremely blue and clear and it was so much fun. We really enjoyed all the ports, and all of the people were so friendly. We met people from all over the world and it was awesome. Getting to know each other on board the ship. The food was awesome and plenty of it! It was a wonderful vacation and we would gladly do it again! Thanks a bunch, Gina and Janna

Sailed on the beautiful boat Salve di mare. My home for for 7 nights. Above and beyond my expectations. The boat and crew were impeccable and made us feel welcome. The weather wasn't kind to us every day but all efforts were made to keep us happy. Off shore excursions were varied and there was something for everyone. All round a wonderful time and my only suggestion would be to stock up on more breakfast teabags . I hope to travel again with Sail Croatia.

The boat was beautiful with a friendly and hard working crew and the cooks prepared delicious food (including the daily breakfast buffet), amazing island stops, swimming/relaxing/exploring every day, etc. and all was communicated through our awesome tour manager, Klara. 5/5 stars-would recommend!!

I had an amazing and unforgettable experience on my Sail Croatia Explorer trip from Dubrovnik to Split. The accommodations were just as I’d hoped, the food was plentiful, fresh, and delicious, and the crew went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a fantastic time. In particular, our cruise guide, Dino, was outstanding—sharing endless insights about the islands, activities, excursions, and even the best restaurants to try. I’ll gladly recommend Sail Croatia to family and friends and look forward to booking another trip with this customer-focused company in the future.

We travelled from Dubrovnik to Split on the Salve Di Mare in early September. The crew (Vlaho, Marko and Monika) were attentive and friendly and excellent at their jobs. The kitchen staff were brilliant producing delicious 3 course lunches on a daily basis! Vicko was a fabulous guide and was approachable and informative. The boat was luxurious and the activities were great, although the swim stops in the secluded bays were a highlight for me! Our fellow shipmates from around the world were wonderful, making for an exceptional holiday!
- Angela, 29/09/2025 00:19, Travelled with Friend/s
The crew looked after us so well. A big mention goes to our tour host Klara, and bar staff Blaze & Marco. Also Monica along with the Captain and sailors made our experience fun, enjoyable, and personal. The meals prepared by the chefs were delicious. Moving between the islands and docking at each port was done with great precision. Our swim stops were unforgettable.

- Amanda, 23/09/2025 03:52, Travelled with Friend/s
Travelling on Salve Di Mare with Klara as our host exceeded all our expectations! The ship itself is divine large enough to afford everyone their own space but small enough to get us into the most amazing swimming spots and awesome island ports. The rooms are fabulous the food sublime and the crew wonderful! Everyone went above and beyond to ensure our whole experience was 5 star! Our whole group felt it was a trip of a life time! After seeing other yachts in different ports Salve Di Mare was by far the best! Sail Croatia, Capt France, Klara, Vhlaho, Marco and all the crew we will talk about you for years to come! Simply the best!

A dream come true! What an incredible week myself and 5 friends had on the Sail Croatia Cruise from Split to Dubrovnik in September 2025. Weather was great, food incredible and the crew were so friendly and approachable. Nothing was a problem. We had a great bunch of passengers ranging in age from early 20’s to early 70s. Everyone mixed easily and also participated in onshore activities if they wanted to. The activities on offer were varied. Diving off the back of the boat was ‘A DREAM COME TRUE’ . Will hope to come back one day and would pick this exact same size and boat. Karen from Australia

Staff were friendly and welcoming, and the boat was clean and well run. Our tour leader Dino went out of his way to organise amazing extra activities and book restaurants etc. when requested. Particularly enjoyed our tour and meal in the village on our stop in Korcula. I didn't think the wine tour was really worth the money but enjoyed the other activities especially our swim stops in idyllic little bays. I was sad to say goodbye to Dino and the crew..
- Susan, 22/09/2025 16:01, Travelled with Friend/s
The crew were outstanding and very accommodating. The pace and size of the group was always personal and a great mix of people from around the world. I would sincerely recommend this trip to anyone. We visited so many islands which otherwise would not be reached by your usual cruise ships. Croatia is spectacularly beautiful and our experience was simply amazing!! It will forever be cemented in our memories. Thank you to crew at Almissa for giving us these wonderful memories. You were outstanding.

The Dalmatian islands were so beautiful! Hana our tour manager was outstanding.. She was also always available and prompt in responding back to our questions.. she is a great asset to your company.. the food was great/chef excellent. The crew members had a great sense of humor and were fun to be around.. Cesar and Kristina were very attentive serving food and drinks. I would recommend this trip to everyone..

Tour organiser Dino was very knowledgeable and all his recommendations regarding places to go and eating places were on point. Plenty of relaxation time and you could either choose to do extra activities or keep relaxing if you prefer.

We had a perfect week on Sail Croatia! We loved every minute.

I’ve just returned from an Explorer holiday on the Tempera. It was just excellent. We had a fantastic guide who was knowledgeable and very engaging with all the guests onboard and even if you ran into him onshore he took the time to point out the best spots to visit. The chef onboard was very good with the dining room set out with four large tables so you got to meet everyone over breakfast and lunch each day. Excursion offered each day were really fun too and very good value. And the bar onboard was well stocked and run very well by two bar staff at all times. We had a lower deck room and the steps were quite steep so keep to flat shoes. But honestly I would 100% recommend this trip and boat. Thank you Sail Croatia for a fabulous week.
- Tonia Gill, 09/09/2025 07:18, Travelled with Friend/s
And what a trip it was! Toma was very thorough in his daily briefing, speeches and messages. Period very quick to respond to questions. The food on the ship was amazing- the chef is a wizard with sauces. Marco and Vlaho were attentive as waiters and bartenders. We had someone with a dairy allergy in our group and Marco never mixed up her meals. Monica, the maid, bartender and waitress was a delight. The captain was charming at dinner. And I especially enjoyed a chat. I had with him one evening up on the deck. Well, I did not get to know any of the sailors. They were obviously pros at their jobs and always had a smile in a hello when you passed them. The size of the ship allowed you to get to know all your fellow passengers. There was a good mix of onshore activities and the ability to pick and choose and create your own holiday. I highly recommend Sail Croatia.
- Debi, 08/09/2025 18:38, Travelled with Friend/s

We had such an amazing time on Tempera with Anita and the wonderful crew. Everything was so organised and the food was so delicious, special shout out to Max, but all the crew were amazing and really took care of us. We were lucky enough to have amazing weather and were able to stop at all islands on the agenda. The buggy rides in Korcula were a highlight for me, but all the activities were fantastic. I would definitely return again, and recommend this to anyone who wants to see some of the islands of Croatia with ease. Thanks!

I traveled on the Tempera with a group of friends in August 2025, sailing from Dubrovnik to Split. We had an AMAZING time getting to visit the different cities and islands - the flexibility of the itinerary to accommodate weather turned out to be one of the best aspects of the trip, because it allowed to us to explore places and activities that otherwise wouldn't have been available to us (e.g. ziplining in Omiš). The tours and activities coordinated by Sail Croatia were top notch and offered a wide variety of ways to experience the country, from wine tours to canyoneering. Our guide Vic was so personable and knowledgeable about each of our stops, and the entire crew of the ship from the kitchen/bar to the deck were absolutely wonderful (and went above and beyond to help me when I tripped and fell!) The cabins and ship were very clean, though the heat proved tough for the AC at times. The food was incredible, the drinks were great, and overall, this was well worth every penny.
- Courtney, 22/08/2025 15:09, Travelled with Friend/s
This was an experience I will never forget! Croatia is a gem and Sail Croatia is the best way to see the Islands. The Crew and the Rep on the Tempera (Dubrovnik to Split) were phenomenal. VK, the Rep, was full of information and made the destination meetings really interesting. The Crew on the boat were only too happy to listen to any requests anyone had. The boat was comfortable and the group of like minded traveller will remain friends for a long time, if not for life. The daily swim stops were, not only beautiful but, a really good way to get to know our fellow travellers, as were the wonderful breakfasts and lunches provided on the boat. If I had to pick one highlight (there are so many) it would be the Zipline, Omis. The guides were brilliant and patient and the views were sensational..Oh and it was so much fun. The only low light (for me) was the wine tasting in Stari Grad. Just too many groups there for one host to manage so we were a bit ignored!

My friends and I traveled on the Tempera on an Explorer cruise in August 2025, and we had a wonderful trip! The accommodations onboard the ship were great, and both Vicko (our tour director) and the Tempera staff were fantastic. Vicko was the best possible cruise director: he was knowledgeable, honest, and super kind, and he really helped us plan our port adventures. As a vegan, I was a little worried about the food onboard, but the kitchen & bar crew (especially Max) really went above and beyond to take care of me. Every member of the ship's crew made sure my friends and I had a fun and memorable trip. Really loved getting to know the other passengers onboard too!

My friend and I travelled on the Queen Jelena from Split to Dubrovnik on the navigator cruise. This had to be one of the best experiences of my life. Dino, our trip leader, went above and beyond. He had fantastic food recommendations for each island, as well as tips for what to see and do and incredible knowledge of Croatia. He took excellent care of everyone on board! He was amazing!! The crew were also fantastic. The food was delicious! And the boat itself was beautifully designed and very comfortable. We also had an amazing group of people to travel with and we so enjoyed getting to know all of them and listening to their travel and life stories. We will definitely be staying in touch. I cannot give Dino, the crew and the captain enough praise. Thank you, Sail Croatia, for this amazing experience.

My friends and I made the sail Croatia a birthday trip for me to celebrate in the Adriatic Sea! We had so much fun with our new friends on board and our amazing host Dino. Cesar and Kristina were our lovely bar staff and now have become our friends. We will definitely come back and do this trip again. Dino was very helpful with accommodating our needs and the chefs went out of their way to cater to my allergies. I have so many amazing memories from this week and I will recommend it to my friends in the states. This was the perfect way to see so many islands and coves that big cruises don’t have access to!! My only suggestion would be to have a full length mirror somewhere on the boat :) Thanks for an amazing vacation!!

The crew were fantastic, the food was amazing, we loved Mario who looked after us every day like he was our family. So welcoming, Lola our tour guide was gorgeous, friendly and very informative, giving us realistic expectations of tours and local bars, restaurants etc. The lower deck cabin was. Very spacious much bigger than I imagined and very quiet The age range on board ranged from early twenties to late sixties. Would I go again, absolutely in a heartbeat. Croatia has won my heart. Chef and his mate were great, so happy and great food everyday. Well done crew

Our group of 5 toured Croatia aboard the Almissa, leaving from Dubrovnick and ending in Split. We had a wonderful trip thanks to our tour guide Klara and the rest of the crew. Klara was knowledgeable, helpful, fun and provided excellent recommendations.... the trip would not have been the same without her. The food was plentiful and delicious, the swim stops were amazing, the excursions offered something for everyone, the ports were fantastic and the scenery was absolutely breath-taking. Highly recommend!!!!

Had such a fun time! Our tour manager Anita was such a sweetheart, so organised and genuinely cared if we had a good time. She made sure we were well informed and helped build friendships among the guests. The service was amazing. Max and Milan were attentive, friendly and funny. The food was mostly great, I am a vegetarian and got served cheese in almost every lunch, more of a protein variety would have been amazing but what was served was still delicious, just a lot. The captain Frano and sailors (I’m sorry I forgot their names!) made sure we were safe and kept to scheduled times so it was easy to plan our days, they were lovely people as well. Every location was beautiful and so charming. Especially Mljet, we biked through the national park and it was gorgeous, please do it if you get the chance! Would definitely recommend to people who like a good mix of relaxation, culture and partying. Thanks sail Croatia, I’ll definitely be back in future!

Just returned from an unforgettable Sail Croatia trip! The itinerary was perfectly planned, giving us the ideal balance of adventure, relaxation, and stunning island stops. The real highlight, though, was the incredible crew — professional, friendly, and always going the extra mile to make everyone feel welcome. A special shoutout to our main guide, Vicko, whose knowledge, energy, and humor made the journey even more memorable. The food on board exceeded all expectations — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented every day. Highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a unique way to explore the Croatian coast!

I was invited to join a 20th anniversary celebration cruise on the Salve di mare for my first cruise experience. First off, the crew was amazing! Klara as our cruise director took care of all the details in such a warm, funny and efficient way — I loved her history lessons and honest recommendations for excursions, dining and shopping. Our waiters/bartenders Marco and Vlagho worked so hard and were such fun! The boat was luxurious and spotless, and the variety of common areas (dining area, covered lounge, forward deck and sun deck )meant you never felt crowded. The food was delicious . I loved the itinerary and ship’s size! We had a great full breakfast, swam off the boat in the morning, sailed to our island stop, had scrumptious 3- course lunches, and then on our own. Because there were only 37 of us, we easily made new friends with whom the we would go off for excursions and dinner. Perfect trip for a non-planner!
